Core offering

Allender Butzke Engineers Inc. is a Central Iowa civil engineering firm providing geotechnical engineering solutions, environmental site assessments, and construction quality control services. The firm conducts field exploration (drilling, sampling), in-situ testing, laboratory testing of soils and aggregates, environmental monitoring and chemical analyses, and construction quality control including IBC special inspections and steel erection inspection for civil projects.

Product overview

Allender Butzke Engineers Inc. is a civil engineering firm offering professional services rather than a software product. The company provides an integrated suite of three core service lines: Geotechnical Engineering Services (including field exploration, in-situ testing, and laboratory testing), Environmental Site Assessments (including monitoring, hazardous waste analysis, and asbestos surveys), and Construction Quality Control Services (including soil testing, concrete testing, IBC special inspections, and steel erection inspection). These services are delivered together to support construction projects from site investigation through quality assurance during construction.

Products and services

• Geotechnical Engineering Services Field exploration (drilling, sampling via truck-mounted, all-terrain, confined access, hollow stem auger, rotary, and barge drill rigs), in-situ testing (bore hole shear, pressuremeter, Dutch cone, inclinometers, electrical resistivity), and laboratory testing (unconfined compression, moisture content, dry density, Atterberg limits, pH, sulfate, conductivity, sieve analysis, hydrometer, organic content, consolidation, swell, permeability, chemical stabilization, California Bearing Ratio, triaxial shear, visual classification). Serves developers, public agencies, architects, and contractors needing soil and site analysis for buildings, roads, bridges, dams, and site development.
• Environmental Site Assessments Monitoring well installation, continuous sampling, asbestos surveys, property assessments, hydraulic conductivity tests, photoionization detection, and analyses for petroleum, hazardous waste, pesticides and PCBs, sanitary landfill, metals, wastewater, asbestos, and lead. Serves property owners, developers, and public agencies requiring environmental due diligence and site characterization.
• Construction Quality Control Services Soil and concrete testing (nuclear density, sand cone, proctor tests; concrete thickness, air content, slump, compressive strength, flexural strength, mix designs), floor flatness and maturity testing, IBC Special Inspection (masonry, structural steel, fire proofing, firestop, concrete, bolting, reinforcement, foundations, pile and Geopier reports, grading), and steel erection inspection (bolt torque, visual weld examination, non-destructive tests including ultrasonic, liquid dye penetrant, and magnetic particle). Serves general contractors, building owners, and code-compliance entities.
• Studies and Reports Engineering studies and reports for buildings, schools, dams, lagoons, parking lots, roads, airports, bridges, retaining structures, and site development projects. Delivered to architects, engineers, contractors, and public agencies for use in design and construction decision-making.
